WheatNet-IP
Logic Functions and Examples
As described in this manual, the WheatNet-IP system provides for certain logic (i.e.
non audio) related functions and controls. The messaging structure for these functions is
entirely contained within the WheatNet-IP hardware itself, and distributed over the same
LAN connection as is the audio. No PCs are required, other than to use the WheatNet-IP
Navigator GUI application to make the configurations and programming needed.
There are many different logic functions and controls available in the WheatNet-IP
system; these can be sorted into four different categories. This appendix will provide
specific examples in these categories to demonstrate the category as well as provide step
by step instructions on how to program the function with the Navigator GUI software.
Category 1: Direct Logic
This type of logic function acts directly on and controls the operation of certain control
surface features. Direct logic operation is independent of any BLADEs and/or physical
logic ports. Direct logic functions are available on the Evolution series of control surfaces
(E-4, E-5, E-6), and are further classed as to control surface functions and programmable
buttons.
VDip Function
Direct logic control surface functions are programmed on the control surface itself
under the Main>Options>VDIP window. These VDIP (Virtual Dip Switch) functions
affect how the control surface works, and can be set to act either globally, for all input
sources, or differently depending on the source.
